12V Head Stud install help

Merry Xmas guys
Hey guys did any of you have a problem getting the HB out of 5/6 cyl
Do you have to remove the rocker towers at the same time on these two?
The stock bolt comes up about 1/2" away from the hole for the pushrods in the cowl and since the studs are longer? It doesnt really look like pulling the tower will give enough clearance but? At first I thought the holes didn't line up but they look good for the push rods so I figure there must be some other trick for the bolts.

Use the pushrod hole, that's what we've done on all our 12v's. You may remove the secondary bolt holding the rocker pedestal and twist it a little.

Thanks brnaodn
#5 I needed to do that to but 6 actually came out so I guess the holes in the cowl were just slightly askew (kind of like your trademark signature ) I just needed a rest from the torque wrench last night and thought I could get a easy answer from someone while I rested up today, I just wish I didnt eat so much turkey dinner cause I sure dont feel like finishing it now.
